Polka Doodles #34: Use Something New

Good morning, friends! It's FRIDAY... and what a relief we've made it to the end of the week. Saturday beckons, but first it's time for a for a little inspiration for this fortnight's challenge: Use Something New.

Here's my offering... a vintage inspired card featuring Santa from the Picknix 3 Nordic Winter Colletion. To finish my project I added golden stars (which I have been carefully protecting from frivolous consumption) and a sheer white bow (made from a giant roll of ribbon my sister gave me 4 years ago). I am solicitous about the welfare of my stash! :)

Here's a closer look at the jolly man. I coloured him with Faber-Castell Polychromos and inked the edges with Frayed Burlap DI for that aged look. I rounded the corners WRMK ½" Corner Chomper.

Now it's over to you, my friends. Create any project - card, tag, lay-out, box, bag, etc. You have until Noon (UK Time) on Friday, 28 August 2015, to link up your entries over at the Polka Doodles Challenge Blog.

About Me

I live near the sea in Portugal, with my sweet hubby. We have 3 loving furbabies - Peanut, a Doxie-Podengo rescue, Charlie, a yellow Lab rescue and Richard Parker, an all-black boy-cat. Over the years we've lost members of our furry family: André (14), Rosie (13), Snoopy (9), Turtle Joe (27) and Xiara (13). God speaks when tails wag and hearts purr... and how richly He has blessed us!
